| Indian Corn for Chicken*.
' The fanciers' Journal has this to ?
E:v" say about corn ; ^
fe[.' "Indian corn is an American cereal t
t'T ami r stanle article of diet for hoes r
P - and hens. 1 It has been condemned asl r
\ the worst and extolled as the best graiu c
food we have. In our own experience j
I'! corn is almost a necessity, especially in
our variable winter climate. Men and (
!?<; animals thrive on it under favorable j
conditions, aud the ill effects are di- (
rectly traceable to lack of physical ex- j
f-?L ercise and unclean quarters. * Hens in ^
p-r confinement are very apt to get lazy ,
aud fat when fed on corn exclusively,
but allow these hens plenty of liberty t
and nothing induces better laying iu t
winter than our common Indian corn, j
Hf? Facts have proven this, and our ex- s
perimeutal stations are seriously cousidering
the corn problem at [
present- ,
PS. "In a letter from Mr. H. P. Wheeler j
of the New York Experiment Station, ?
2; we learn the following facts : 'Quite a i
6*5;.. few weeks ago I recommended to one (
BK- of my friends that he stop feeding (
Jp;: corn to his hens and feed them on j
bran, oats, wheat, middlings, etc., in- j
stead, for I knew that he wanted to (
hatch all the eggs from these hens and s
they were not running at liberty. He f
fed just as I advised and gave them
: plenty of exercise among straw, dust, ?
etc. His houses'are comfortable and ,
clean. A few days ago he wrote me \
that since he stopped feeding corn he |
py. 'didn't get nearly as many eggs, and s
!??'. that at a seasou nearer to the time of
the best produce from, the breed,
which is the brown Leghorn. I told
him that he had better have fewer eggs
and healthier chicks. I advised him
about stopping corn because his hens .
appeared to me as being too fat and
lazy. This is more testimony to the ,
effect that some fowl can lay well with I
considerable com in their ration."
We will add that the best laying flock
of Leghorns we ever saw were fed
corn almost exclusively the year round
but they had a farm range."

A True Story of a Stork.
A writer in Our Animal Friends re
ates a curious incident about a stort
vhich made its its nest upon a roof o
i house in northern Germany, ant
laving been petted by the children, be
atne very tame aud coninaniona
>Ie.
At the first signs of approach in
old weather the stork prepared to ttil
o a warmer clime. The children were
ad at the thought of losing their pet
tut their parents consoled them wilt
he assurauce that the bird would
urely return the next spring. 1 lie
hildren, still uneasy at the idea of the
tork not being cared for during the
ong winter, consulted together anc
volved a brilliant idea which they
mmediately proceeded to put into excution.
They wrote a little note ir;
heir best German script, stating thai
he stork was very dear to them, anc
egging the good people in whosi
ountry it might spend the winter tc
e kind to their pet and send it Lack tc
hem in the spring.
They sealed the note, fastened it to 9
ibbou, tied it round the bird's neck,
ind tucked it undert its wing. The
text day they sadly watched tbestork
viu? its way toward milder skies.
Phe snow and ice came. Christmas
ime brought the children gifts and
resli amusements but their summei
let was not forgotten. When the
pring came round again, their little
eet used to climb to theja&f-day^Tvy
lay, lookingjtfl44vfiging for the stork's
eturn^-aat!, behold lone fine morning
fcfjre it was, tame and gentle as ever
Great was the children's delight
>ut what was their surprise to discovei
ound its neck and under its wing an
>ther bright band, with a note attached
iddressed to "the children who wrote
he letter the stork brought." Th<
ibbou was quickly untied and the mis
ive opened. It was from a missionary
n Africa, stating that he had read the
ihildren's note and had cared for the
tork and thought that the young peo)le
whose good hearts had prompted
hem to provide for the comfort of a
>ird through the winter would be wiling
to help clothe and feed the destiute
boys and girls of his mission. A
ull name and address followed. The
German children were full of sympathy
md the missionary's note won agoldeu
mswer from the family. Other letters
:ame and went by post between them,
intil by and by the children learned tc
:now the missionary and his little
vaifs almost as well as they knew the
lelovedstork that had proved so trusty
. messenger.

A Dozen And One FacIh Conceriiiii
Worldly Amusement*.
It is a fact that the three leadit
worldly amusements are card playin
dancing, and theater going.
It is a fact that the Bible demant
that christians shall be separated fro
the world. (See Matthew vi: 24 ; Joli
xvii: 15, 16 ; II. Corinthians vi: 14-1!
James vi: 4 ; I. John ii .* 15-18, etc.)
It is a fact that not a single evangel
cal denomination approves of the!
amusements ;and many of them ha\
formally declared against them.
It is a fact that un-Christian peop
when brought under conviction for si
invariably believe the.t these amusi
ments should be renounced.
It is a fact that persons desiring t
become Christians never want a dan
ing, card playing, theater going pr<
fessor's assistance in learning how.
It is a fact that the worldly-mind(
members of any church contribute li
tie or nothing to the spiritual forc<
and work of their church.
It is a fact that any church sauctUii
ing these amusements ,is?sptffiuali
inert. _ ^HfiTafact
that un-Christian peop
fiave little or no respect for the re]
gious profession of Church membe
who indulge in these amusements.
It is a fact that the persons mn
difficult to win to Jesus Chri9t are tl
nhilHrnn nP rnafnlipra whn n
prove of these pastimes.
It is a fact that indulgence in the
amusements has led multitudes to di
grace and ruin.
It is a fact that no one, iu the dj
ing hour, wauts otie who loves the*
things to pray with them or speak
them of the life to come.
It is a fact that church membe
given to thes-e pastimes have litt
knowledge of the Bible and are st
dom found in the church prayer mee
ings.
It is a fact that if you are a Chris
tian, and indulge yourself at all i
these worldly pleasures, and for th
honor and glory of our glorious Savii
and Lord, will at once and forever i
nounce them, you will have His swe
approval, the approval oft your ow
3onscience, and such joy as the wor
2an not give. (Matthew xix : 29.)
"Wherefore come out from amor
them and be ye separate saith tl
Lord, and touch not the unclea
things and I will be a father unto yo
and ye shall be my sons and daughte
saith the Lord Almighty." (1
Corinthians vi : 17, 18.)

And she jumped up from the gra

The kind words and the kiss thatc
companied them were almost ti
much for the mother, and her voi
trembled as she answered :
"Thank you, dear; it will do me
world of good. My head aches bad
this morning."
What a happy heart Maggie's w
as she turned the carriage up and dov

and act on her aunt's good words:
"The very time to be helpful ai
pleasant is when everybody is tir
